Summer gifting

Impeccable taste

Afternoon teas can sometimes be a little bit stuffy, filled with hundreds of years of upper-class traditions that couldn’t be further from a good old country brew coupled with some proper, British sarnies. Maybe Manchester’s your spiritual home, or maybe you live there, and you fancy a taste of your city condensed into an afternoon meal you won’t forget in a hurry – well now your prayers have been answered, with this Manchester Themed Afternoon Tea with Prosecco for Two.

Each element of your afternoon has been spiced up with brands made famous in Manchester, from the Patak’s spices in your Coronation (Street) Chicken wraps and the Boddington chutney with Cheshire cheese sandwiches to the Bury black pudding and scotch eggs with a Kellogg’s Corn Flakes crumb. There are sandwiches, scones, sweet treats (including a homemade Jaffa cake) and more, just as you’d expect, but the Mancunian twist means this afternoon tea would struggle to be more British and northern.

The glass of Prosecco each might have come all the way from Italy, but there’s no doubt Mancunians can pour like the best of them. Of course, it wouldn’t be an afternoon tea without a brew, so you’ll get to choose from Twinings English Breakfast, Classic Earl Grey and more to make your perfect afternoon tea experience.

"Birthday treat"

The venue was okay, reasonable view over Piccadilly gardens. The tea itself was rather disappointing although nicely presented. The sandwiches were on basic white sliced bread dried out with unexciting fillings. The cakes were nice but nothing special. Our tea pots came quickly after ordering, in fact 15 minutes before the food so it was cold by the time we ate. A refill pot cost us £3.We had to ask for the glass of Prosecco as the waitress wasn’t aware it was included.Have had better.

"Not impressed"

Nicely presented on a stand but the quality was really poor. The ham looked cheap and the prawns were tiny. The marg was thickly spread and could tell the sandwiches had been pre made and left in a fridge. Very disappointed as this was a present for my boyfriends 50th.
